In this paper, a binary goal programming model for the mixed-model assembly line balancing (ALB) problem is developed. The model is based on the concepts developed by Patterson and Albracht and the model of Deckro and Rangachari developed for the single-model ALB problem. The proposed model provides a considerable amount of flexibility to the decision maker, as several conflicting goals can be simultaneously considered.
